2 plays in Hindi for children - Special passes available for NGOs working with children in Bangalore

Hello.
GILLO, established in 2009, is an independent children's media group based in Mumbai. Our area of work spans from education to the arts and media.
GILLO’s Theatre Wing:
Our theatre wing produces plays specially written and designed for children, with a focus on indigenous content and the Indian context. We also conduct workshops for children, teachers and parents; and organise other activities that engage children with the theatre arts.
Our stage productions include two Hindi plays - Suar Chala Space Ko (2010), a silly-smelly science-fantasy and Kyun Kyun Ladki (2011), based on Mahashweta Devi’s book – The Why Why Girl. These plays have been performed in Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune and Bangalore. We have also created some short performances for children and these are regularly staged at a variety of venues and events.


In 2010 we brought our Hindi play for children SUAR CHALA SPACE KO and staged 6 shows across Bangalore.
GILLO is once again coming to Bangalore.
In Nov 2011 we are bringing 2 plays - KYUN-KYUN LADKI based on Mahashweta Devi's story and SUAR CHALA SPACE KO. Both plays are suitable for age group of 5 to 12 years.
The dates are as follows:

Thur 3rd Nov SUAR CHALA SPACE KO at Jagriti Whitefield at 7pm
Fri 4th Nov KYUN-KYUN LADKI at Jagriti Whitefield at 7pm

Sat 5th Nov KYUN-KYUN LADKI at Ranga Shankara JP Nagar at 3.30pm and 7.30pm
Sun 6th Nov SUAR CHALA SPACE KO at Ranga Shankara JP Nagar at 3.30pm and 7.30pm

For the above 6 shows in Bangalore, we are offering limited FREE PASSES (20 seats for each show at Jagriti and 30 seats for each show at Ranga Shankara) for children studying in NGO-run centres in Bangalore. As many children dont have access to theatre, this is our effort to create an opportunity for them to engage with live performances.

• Last date for confirming passes is 30th Oct. Please communicate your confirmation via email and mention the name and contact details of the person incharge.

Saturday Drama Club 2010-2011 (Batch One)

Our first batch of Saturday Drama Club (SDC) began in Sept 2010 with 15 young participants and the Gillo team. The children have worked with our actors, dancers and music composers in sessions that have a workshop style format and integrated activities.
The workshop sessions covered Theatre and the Allied Arts through games and exercises, movement and other acting skills; mime, puppetry, mask making, story-telling, theatre appreciation, shadow-play, etc.

Movement workshop was conducted by Hamsa Moily from Bangalore. Kathak based dance workshop was conducted by Pooja Pant.

Puppetry sessions were conducted over two days. Activities included: Puppet skit with ready-made puppets, freeplay with puppets, demonstration using traditional Indian puppets, audiovisual on puppets, and making simple puppets from everyday materials.

Mask-making was done with paper mache and the children who had to be the ‘models’ were really tested for their patience!

Music workshop was conducted by Hetal Varia and Sancharee Saha.

As part of theatre appreciation the participants watched ‘The Red Balloon’ show from UK staged at Akshara High School and Gillo’s ‘Suar Chala Space Ko’ at Prithvi Theatre. The children were also given a guided tour of Prithvi Theatre and helped backstage during setup.
 

Throughout the year we have engaged with literature in Hindi and English in a variety of ways. Children have had good exposure to contemporary Indian poetry and short stories.
In the last two sessions, we had parents participating in the activities conducted with their children and thus experiencing the joy of pure, unadulterated emotions.

This first experience has been an important process in our work at Gillo and we have gained so much from our interaction with the children. We hope to continue with the next batch and in the years to come we may even have more than one batch so we can engage with different age groups.

We would like to thank all our participants and their parents for making our first batch of  SDC a successful one.

Workshop Participants: Shankar,  Rohan, Shreyas, Omkar, Prisha, Nami, Vinay, Vikrant, Dhwani, Anjali, Parth, Niranjan , Shreya, Pratik

Workshop Conductors : Shaili Sathyu , Navyata Malkani, Pooja Pant, Hamsa Moily, Hetal Varia, Sharvari Deshpande, Harshad Tambe, Ishita Dave, Vinati Makijany, Sancharee Saha,
